Code-to-Canvas
Value hypothesis
Placeholder, scope pending. Keeps the Figma canvas in sync with implementation reality by writing UI built or changed in code (IDE prompt-to-prototype) back into the design file, so designers iterate against what actually ships rather than a drifting mock.
Velocity
Placeholder - definition pending. Designers prompt-to-prototype in an AI IDE and write the result back into Figma as editable layers (code→canvas), supporting design-system evolution and site/app fixes. Scope and tooling pending.
Risks in application
Shallow Solutions
PLACEHOLDER - risk profile pending definition. A round-tripped canvas may misrepresent the implemented UI (dropped states, approximated layout), giving designers false confidence that the file matches what shipped.
Expertise that differentiates
Technical Feasibility
PLACEHOLDER - judging when a code-to-canvas round-trip faithfully represents the shipped UI versus when it introduces drift that misleads downstream design decisions.
Possible Indicators
Canvas–implementation drift
PLACEHOLDER - degree to which the Figma canvas matches the shipped implementation after a code-to-canvas sync.
